Should You Apply to THINK Global School?

We’re looking for students who bring more than strong academics. Our applicants come from diverse countries, cultures, and backgrounds, but they share one thing in common: a brave curiosity about the world and their place in it.

Our Eligibility Requirements

All applicants to THINK Global School must meet the below requirements:

• All applicants must be 18 years old or younger while attending THINK Global School. If a student will be 19 years of age prior to their expected TGS graduation date, unfortunately they do not qualify. Please see our age calculator at the bottom of this page to confirm your eligibility for your chosen school year.
• All applicants will need to have completed the equivalent of U.S. Grade 10 by the time they start at THINK Global School. This means most of our applicants are current Grade 10 students when they are applying to TGS.
• All applicants must have advanced written and oral English skills, as English is our language of instruction.
• All applicants must have exceptional maturity, adaptability, and resilience to manage the complexities of global travel.

What We Look for in an Applicant

Successful applicants to THINK Global School share the following characteristics:

• A desire for an unconventional, progressive high school experience that engages global issues through first-hand experience
• A thirst for active, project-based learning that cultivates personal characteristics as much as academic success
• A record reflecting a strong work ethic, drive for excellence, and self-motivation
• A commitment to improving themselves, their communities, and the world

Rony Tene

on joining the TGS family:

To anyone coming to TGS: don’t come with expectations. Not just about TGS, but about anything. Come as yourself and just figure things out from there. Come open minded, come thinking that people are going to like you as you are, and the places you are going to see are not the same as on TV.

Sometimes you think to yourself, how was I lucky enough to travel here and to get into this school? You might wake up in the morning on a boat in New Zealand, wondering how you came here, and you’ll realize this is your life, and it’s targeted towards changing the world.
